Hi, Katherine. Our library has a subscription to Naxos' Spoken Word Library. It has "classic" titles and some other titles (some of those are in the original language, ie. not all are English language). It also is available to users</div>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For those of you who are working/have worked in academic libraries, I'm curious what approach your library takes to e-audiobooks. Do you license them? If so, what vendor(s) do you use and what has your experience with those vendors been like? There's Overdrive,
of course, and it looks like <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://thepalaceproject.org/marketplace/__;!!ErzdRKFLcPwBYQ!W-elQANeyEegioCjuBQsy7rILOwzcftbPaq0lEnWyBmJJYZxrZttZ1Fy6bu3nADGKeb_ASlgUcoCA1lBLPxgUecpN8gA_Q$" target="_blank">
Palace Marketplace</a> might be another option. If there are other vendors out there that your library is using--especially for more scholarly (vs. popular) titles--I'd love to hear about them!</div>
<div><br>

<div>Thanks,<br>
